Aishwarya Rai - *Respect*

I never needed a specific reason to hate this lady named Aishwarya Rai all through her career, or rather, right from i started hearing about her. Being called as the most beautiful lady by most of the Indians, the ex of Salman Khan, every other guy comparing every other gal he comes across with this lady... the reasons to hate her are umpteen and countless.

"Who do you think you are? Aishwarya Rai?" or "Oh.. My dream gal should resemble Aish" were more than enough to piss me off. And  above all, the chaos regarding Sallu, arrey being a Sallu fan that's far more than one can take ;)

For her beauty, her figure, her husband on whom I used to drool over years back, and the kissing scene with Hrithik Roshan ;) everything had just made me do nothing but hate her! Call that jealousy, but whatever it be, it always hurts to hear this one name wherever you go.

Hence, for the past 18+ years, I'd been, without taking a single break, hating her... until she became a mother. Motherhood, as we all know is one of the best places any woman would love to be, and respecting that is the best thing one can do. Where a majority of the women these days drop the plan of being a mother only to preserve their beauty and figure! Be it a model,  actress or even an ordinary house wife! Wonder what they gonna do with this not-gonna-help-you-ever figure! They might have million reasons to justify themselves, like how kids dump their parents at some oldage home and all that agony, but then, being a parent; being a MOTHER is something which cannot be explained until you become one.

So, among all those hot chicks this lady managed to get a life and  a kid of her own. Unfortunately she lost her looks and figure which she might retain pretty soon, but that didnt stop her from being what she used to be.

Her recent visit to the Cannes might have shocked some, while others made fun of her. But for me, that was one awesome thing she did! Instead of sitting at home, worrying about her figure, she had the guts to come in front of the public! And those who are still making fun of her, well, does she really care about what you are doing out there?

Now, she gained all my respect and Aishwarya Rai is the second beautiful lady in this whole planet, next to my mother :-)

PS: To all  those who consider beauty is everything, let this be a lesson - beauty is just an external mask and can fade anytime. It lies on the eyes of the beholder and determines who n what the beholder is. So hold your tongue, stop making fun, not just this lady but everyone else who you think is not beautiful!  This can happen to anyone -  one who's beauty you worship, can be next!
